A seafood restaurant perched inside the Regional Park of Monte Conero, with big windows and tables angled so the Adriatic does most of the decorating. The kitchen builds each year's menu around a single theme, creative dishes with a careful hand. You can graze on a couple of street-food bites at lunch or commit to the full dinner menu. When it's warm enough, the outside tables fill up, blankets included for when the wind disagrees.

Mauro Uliassi runs a three-Michelin-star restaurant wedged between beach umbrellas on the Adriatic shore, which tells you something about his relationship with pretension. The Lab tasting menu changes every year, built around Adriatic memory, travel, and whatever the chef is currently obsessed with. The room is balanced between his cooking and his sister Catia's quiet authority over the floor. Ranked among the World's 50 Best, it somehow still feels like a place that belongs to this particular stretch of coast.

The open hearth and the spit aren't decorative here; they're the kitchen. Housed in a converted farmhouse outside Loreto, Andreina is a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant where the third generation of the family still builds nearly every dish around live fire, with produce from their own garden folding into the smoke. The tasting menus are named Fuoco and Fiamme, which tells you pretty much everything about the priorities.

A Michelin-starred restaurant inside a sports centre is either a very good sign or a very bad one, and here it's the former. The chef returned to his native Marche to cook the region's traditions in a way that feels lighter and less fussy than the setting might suggest. Two tasting menus plus an à la carte, with the focus squarely on meat and the surrounding countryside, in a room that keeps things quietly elegant.

Tasting menus named after places, built around ingredients that change with the season, served at just a handful of tables in a warmly lit room in Tolentino. The chef came from Albania and spent years absorbing Italian culinary tradition, and the cooking sits at that interesting crossroads, contemporary but grounded. Book ahead, because the room fills fast and walking in is optimistic thinking.

The open kitchen pulls your eye the moment you sit down, and the small crew inside it works with the focused quiet of people who have something to prove. This intimate, Michelin-starred dining room in Porto San Giorgio's old town runs a ten-course tasting menu built around a sharp, restless use of acidity, with a cellar and by-the-glass list that take the wine as seriously as the food.

The dining room occupies the old stables of a restored Renaissance palazzo, which sets a mood before anyone has looked at the menu. This is a creative restaurant where the chef pulls between his Sicilian roots and the Adriatic larder of the Marche, running both tasting menus and à la carte. The wine cellar is worth asking about, and they'll take you down for a look if you're curious.

A restored noble residence perched above the Marche maquis, with the Adriatic glinting in the distance, is a pretty good room in which to eat well. This is a gourmet restaurant where a young Neapolitan chef produces contemporary Italian cooking that leans hard into the region and the Mediterranean without drowning in either. The kitchen's own agricultural estate supplies the olive oils and wines, which is the sort of farm-to-table claim that here has paperwork behind it.

A short tunnel with porthole windows leads to a lift, which opens onto a glass-enclosed terrace at the very top of Gabicce Monte, with the Adriatic below and hills behind. This is a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant where the chef pulls from local and broader Italian traditions and makes them feel personal. The wine list runs to French labels and pours generously by the glass. Come at sunset if you can manage it.

The Adriatic appears and disappears through the trees as you wind along the coastal road into Pesaro, then settles into a full backdrop behind the outdoor terrace. This contemporary restaurant is the homecoming project of a chef who spent years in serious kitchens abroad and brought the fusion instincts back with him, folding fruit into pasta with shellfish in a way that reads less like a gimmick and more like a considered point of view.
